Ep 29. Maj Toure: Gun Control’s Racist Roots, Importance of 2nd Amendment & Responsible Gun Ownership

Media and politicians constantly warn about the dangers of firearms. They say too many people have guns. But Black Guns Matters founder Maj Toure says there should be more guns!

“Everybody should be walking around and like, oh man, I left my gun in the house. Let me go back and get it,” says Toure. “Everybody?” I ask. “Everybody.” He says that would make America freer and safer, especially in black communities, which he says, have been disproportionately hurt by gun control laws. “All gun control is racist,” says Toure. “It was literally started to stop black people from having the means to defend themselves.” That’s why he started his group, Black Guns Matter. He wants to empower his community through firearms education and training. In our full interview, Toure explains more about his organization, why gun control is racist, and how self-defense is essential for freedom.

Excellent podcast!

I was fascinated by Mr Toure’s point of view! As a white woman I don’t get to see the black perspective very often. And the few times I have it has sounded just as racist as I am accused of being. But not Mr.Toure. His common sense approach is exactly what I believe we need more of in this country. I love the work he is doing! And I thoroughly enjoyed looking at my world through the eyes of an articulate & intelligent man! Mr.Stossel is a fantastic interviewer as always!
